The robot tiger is made of win. The robot guitar, not so much. It's a solution for which there is no problem - tuning a guitar just isn't that difficult or inconvenient.

having said that i rarely tune my guitar either, it seems to stay generally in tune pretty well.

Not too off topic, since it was somewhat silly to begin with. On the off-standard tuning point, I've read that Led Zeppelin used to do the same.

I wonder if Gibson bought that tiger, or if it's a rental.

Here is a terribly quick and dirty pic of Gibson's latest follies, all together. A tiger with a robot head wearing a zoot suit.
Now that I think about it, it makes me kinda sad.

You forgot to mention that it has since been impounded, because the body is built from illegally harvested endangered wood.
